Give your battery a thorough checkup
Authored by: JoeGrind on Mar 13, '03 11:51:17AM
Well, that's odd. I have a PowerBook G4 maybe a month or so old. That article says my battery capacity should be 3.9 Ah but this is the output of that little script...

voltage=15817 flags=4/0x004 amperage=1019 capacity=6236 current=5593 [89.7%]
Furthermore, my machine goes to sleep at what is listed as 30% capacity without so much as a warning.

Re: JoeGrind

Same thing here, with a 700 mHz iBook. It says I have about 45 minutes to an hour left, then, poof, black screen and sleeping.
